DARWIN'S MACROEVOLUTION: Why Unscientific?

RE: DARWIN'S MACROEVOLUTION: Why Unscientific?
"The word "species" was fabricated by evolutionists ..."

Every time you write, you become more idiotic. Species is an extremely old word. If you want to shit someplace, get your ass to a bathroom. No-one's accepting your asshattery here.

spĕcĭes , ēi (
I. gen. sing. specie or specii, Matius ap. Gell. 9, 14, 15; gen. and dat. plur. were not in use in Cicero's time, but formarum, formis were used instead; cf. Cic. Top. 7, 30.—At a later period were introduced: “specierum,” Pall. Oct. 14, 15; Cod. Just. 1, 2, 10; Cael. Aur. Tard. 1, 5, § 151; cf. Charis. p. 18 P.; and Diom. p. 281 P.: “speciebus,” App. ad Asclep. p. 92, 25; Cod. Just. 11, 9, 1 al.; Dig. 28, 2, 29, § 10), f. specio.
I. Act., a seeing, sight, look, view (rare; cf. “aspectus): speciem quo vortimus,” Lucr. 4, 242; so id. 4, 236 (for which, a little before, visus); 5, 707; 5, 724; Vitr. 3, 2 fin.; 5, 9: “si tantis intervallis nostra species potest id animadvertere,” id. 9, 4: “qui sensus nostros specie primā acerrime commovent,” Cic. de Or. 3, 25, 98: “qui doloris speciem ferre non possunt,” id. Tusc. 2, 23, 54.—
II. Pass., prop. that which is seen in a thing, i. e. the outward appearance, outside, exterior; shape, form, figure, mien, etc. (freq. and class.; syn. forma).
A. Lit.: “praeter speciem stultus,” Plaut. Most. 4, 2, 49: “quod speciem ac formam similem gerit ejus imago,” Lucr. 4, 52; cf.: “quae species formaque pugnae, qui motus hominum non ita expictus est, ut, etc.,” outlines, contours, Cic. Tusc. 5, 39, 114: “esse aliquem humanā specie et figurā,” id. Rosc. Am. 22, 63: “hominis esse specie deos confitendum est,” id. N. D. 1, 18, 48: “edepol specie lepida mulier!” Plaut. Rud. 2, 4, 2; cf.: “bellan' videtur specie mulier?” id. Bacch. 4, 7, 40; id. Most. 1, 3, 23; id. Mil. 4, 2, 10; 4, 6, 20: “urbis speciem vidi,” id. Pers. 4, 4, 2; so, “species praeclara oppidi,” Cic. Rep. 3, 32, 44; Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 58, § 129: “sphaerae (Archimedeae), etc.,” id. Rep. 1, 14, 21: “navium,” Caes. B. G. 4, 25; cf.: “nova atque inusitata,” id. ib. 2, 31: “horribilis,” id. ib. 7, 36: “agro bene culto nihil potest esse specie ornatius,” Cic. Sen. 16, 57: “horum hominum species est honestissima,” id. Cat. 2, 8, 18: “ad speciem magnifico ornatu,” as to outward appearance, Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 22, § 58: “populi,” id. Rep. 3, 33, 45: “nec ulla deformior species est civitatis, quam illa, in quā opulentissimi optimi putantur,” id. Rep. 1, 34, 51: speciem honesti habere, the look or semblance of what is right, id. Off. 3, 2, 7: “turba majorem quam pro numero speciem ferens,” Curt. 3, 2, 3; cf.: “fallaces sunt rerum species, quibus credimus,” Sen. Ben. 4, 34, 1.—
2. Something seen, a spectacle, sight, appearance: “ponite itaque ante oculos miseram quidem illam ac flebilem speciem,” Cic. Phil. 11, 3: “non tulit hanc speciem furiatā mente Coroebus,” Verg. A. 2, 407 (cf. I. supra).—
3. Trop., that which is seen by the mind, an idea, notion: hanc illi ἰδέαν appellabant: “nos recte speciem possumus dicere,” Cic. Ac. 1, 8, 30; cf. id. Top. 7, 30: “insidebat in ejus mente species eloquentiae,” id. Or. 5, 18: “excellentis eloquentiae speciem et formam adumbrabimus,” id. ib. 14, 43: “species, forma et notio viri boni,” id. Off. 3, 20, 81; cf.: “prima sit haec forma et species et origo tyranni,” id. Rep. 2, 29, 51: “qui species alias veri scelerisque capiet,” Hor. S. 2, 3, 208: “utinam non inanes species anxio animo figuraret,” Curt. 7, 1, 36.—
B. In partic.
1. A look, show, seeming, appearance, semblance, pretence, cloak, color, pretext, etc. (opp. that which is real, actual, etc.).
a. In gen.: “obiciuntur saepe formae, quae reapse nullae sunt, speciem autem offerunt,” Cic. Div. 1, 37, 81: “ista securitas specie quidem blanda sed reapse, etc.,” id. Lael. 13, 47: “cujus rei species erat acceptio frumenti,” Sall. J. 29, 4: “fraudi imponere aliquam speciem juris,” Liv. 9, 11: “specie liberā ... re verā, etc.,” id. 35, 31; cf.: “litteras inanis vanā specie libertatis adumbratas esse,” id. 33, 31, 2 Weissenb. ad loc.: “plurimi ibi a fallaci equitum specie agasonibusque excepti sunt,” id. 7, 15, 7: “si dux primam speciem adpropinquantis terroris sustinuisset,” id. 44, 6, 6 Weissenb. ad loc.: “quae (nomina) primā specie admirationem, re explicatā risum movent,” Cic. Fin. 4, 22, 61: “quaedam humanitatis habent primam speciem ut misericordia,” id. Tusc. 4, 14, 32: “similitudinem quandam speciemque sapientium gerere,” id. Off. 3, 4, 16: “si speciem utilitatis voluptas habere dicetur,” id. ib. 3, 33, 120.— Hence,
b. Esp. with gen. of that which is assumed or pretended, under pretext of, under pretence of, etc.
